Orthodox Christians marriages are Sacramental marriages. Our sacramental marriage ceremony does not change. We need to start calling our marriages sacramental marriages. For example , tell your friends you have been "Sacramentally Married" for 10 years. Some people may not know what that means. It would be very difficult to change the meaning of sacramental marriage. A priest can simple say I only know how to perform a sacramental marriage. I don't know how to perform a marriage between a man and man or a woman and a woman. If only everybody followed their true nature to seek God first we would not be having this conversation because we would all be working hard to fight all our passions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040605678734559860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4370010258437865594.post-76290389180719779762015-06-02T18:45:25.139-07:002015-06-02T18:45:25.139-07:00May God Bless you Fathers!!!

You speak the truth, which this city government wishes to deny. I stand with you as a Latin Rite Catholic. I will not be using public restrooms if I can avoid it, and stand to make quite a stir should I see a male in a female restroom. Won't allow my granddaughter in them either.
